2014-2015 and 2015-2016 seasons.

The newly founded Champions Hockey League was launched at the start of the 2014-2015 season. 44 top European teams from 12 countries will be taking part in the competition between August and February, with the finals being held on February 3, 2015.

"We are very pleased to be supporting the new European Champions Hockey League as the official sponsor," said Werner Eichhorn, Skoda Board Member for Sales & Marketing.

In connection with these activities, the most important future European ice hockey event is a great platform to consistently show our presence throughout the year and present the brand internationally in an emotional and exciting environment."
